Meet Miss Poole

Hello UP Panther Family!

My name is Melissa Poole, and I am overjoyed to be back at my alma mater doing what I love the most! I graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education. I have been teaching third grade for many years, and am so excited to see what this year is going to bring!

I currently live in the Dallas area with my corgi, Dexter. I love spending time with friends and family, trying new restaurants, and traveling when I can.

As an educator, it has always been important that I build strong relationships with my students as well as the community. By providing a safe and collaborative learning environment, I hope to teach children to be reflective, creative, and critical thinkers both socially and academically.
